I reckon after it&#39;s &#39;weathered in&#39; for a year or so it&#39;ll look like it was never demolished in the first place. Good work!<br /><br />There&#39;s a famous photograph of an auto-train braking to a stop at Hayles Abbey Halt, with water sloshing out of the tanks (presumably after a fill-up at Toddington). Now it&#39;s possible to recreate that picture. Photo charter, anyone?

BR would have left the left over building materials on the other side of the tracks to gently blend in with the landscape (which it never really did). Another well done from me also in Cornwall ( hence my handle - why St Blazey 1925, you may ask? Well, as I live virtually opposite the former St Blazey station - Platforms and signal box only remain of it. 1925 was the last year that a passenger train was timetabled to call at St Blazey station. Now you all know). Regards, and looking forward to reading about your next project, Paul.

The team and the site deserve some sort of award for the work they have done to bring this project to conclusion, any blog readers out there should write to the railway magazines about what has been done here. The pictures are perfect and when we visit in June we will be stopping at the halt to see this in the flesh. Even if it looks half as good as the pictures this is still a great effort, it looks timeless, as if it never went away. Maybe the next series of Father Brown will use this as a set for one of the programme&#39;s.<br />So Jo, what next? whatever and wherever the team end up, they will still perform to the high standard they have achieved here. A fantastic job by all, but questions need to be answered, What are the team going to work on next, will Lucky the Dalmatian survive without his regular supply of doughnuts and bacon butties, where will Minnie the mixer be used or abused next, will the team be broken up and scattered along the line. What will happen to the Hayles Abbey Herald, will it be taken over by the Toddington Times or the Broadway News? So we look, with some sadness to the next and final report from Hayles Abbey Herald, but joy at the conclusion to a great project.<br />Regards <br />Paul &amp; Marion.Paul Sucksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15384367780051937185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835854219772837675.post-14378967534228696592017-05-31T11:18:46.837+01:002017-05-31T11:18:46.837+01:00Fantastic job - well done to the team!Fantastic job - well done to the team!Keith Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975903162349524020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835854219772837675.post-56502377292310851932017-05-31T10:46:25.794+01:002017-05-31T10:46:25.794+01:00Congratulations all team.

With heritage railways, for me, engines and carriages are all very well, but it is the atmosphere that matters, and that is so often overlooked in The pursuit of commercial gain. The railway is all the richer for this small, but perfectly formed stage set. A place of dreams on a sunny day.<br />Congratulations to you all, and I&#39;m really looking forward to the next one! Any ideas yet?<br />Best wishes, Mark.<br />Phaaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747852507990028985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835854219772837675.post-53613638039758359462017-05-30T21:43:29.291+01:002017-05-30T21:43:29.291+01:00As 1450 is staying on for 10/11 June can we use it...As 1450 is staying on for 10/11 June can we use it to catch the train to Hayles?
